I need to backup a WINXP pc and then move the files to a new WIN7 machine, so I emailed Seagate and asked about compatibility. I just got a response that I think will be helpful to many Amazon shoppers. Here it is:"The Go is compatible with both operating systems. You will need upgraded software that we can provide so that the drive can be used to back up your W7 PC. If you will provide the serial number of the drive you purchase we will be happy to send you the software."UPDATE 12/18/09: I also purchased this cool little hard drive, and it works seamlessly with Win7. Seagate sent me the updated software, but I didn't need to use it. I definitely recommend the FreeAgent Go!

It it's compatible with Windows 7 but there is no guarantee it will run well. The problem isn't your version of Windows but how poorly it was changed to work on any computer.

I am not 100% sure, however, Windows 8 should support anything that my Windows 7 Ultimate (which I use this with) supports. I am sure that Windows 8 accounts for backwards compatible drivers and software, otherwise they would be cutting their throats.. Bill is a smart man, it will work!

Hi, it supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Win7, will not compatible with Windows 8, thank you!

FWIW: Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

I couldn't get it to work on Windows 7, or find a driver that would get it to work on that OS. I'm not sure if they fixed it, or if there is an available driver for Windows 8.

While I can't give you a 100% as I don't use Win 8 (and neither does anybody i know, its REALLY unpopular here) it works great in Win 7 and if it works in 7 it nearly always works with 8.

On my system it's operating on windows 7 fine. On the box that it came in it does not list windows 8, I suggest that you go to Diamond.com/support and they should be able to answer any questions about windows 8, you probably should go there first.

The box says it supports Win XP (SP1), Win Vista, Win 7 and Win 8. It also comes with a DVD. I have only used it on a platform with Win 7.

When I bought mine, it wasn't clear if it would work on Windows 7. I took a leap of faith and bought it, and it has worked fine. Very nice program

It does work with Windows 7. I had it running on that for a several months. I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro and it is still running fine.

I have the same question!! The manufacture has a list of products with Windows 7 capability but does not include this item.
